error number -37 from list folder command


  • Subject: error number -37 from list folder command
  • From: Jim Brandt <email@hidden>

I have a script that uses the "list folder" scripting addition.

set item_list to list folder source_folder without invisibles

Yesterday, this script aborted with the error number -37 - "Bad name for file." It shows the folder name for the folder I'm trying to get a list of names for, but doesn't tell me the name of the offending file. 

How is it possible to create a file on disk that has a "bad filename" (wouldn't the OS object when the file was being created)?

Is there an easy way to determine the name of the offending file?

TIA,

Jim
